Staffing Agency in Sacramento, CA Talks about Q3 Jobs Outlook: Low Supply, High Demand

August 30, 2019 – – Sacramento, Calif. – Express Employment Professionals, a staffing agency in Sacramento, CA, released new survey results today showing that 77% of businesses plan to continue hiring in the third quarter of 2019—with especially strong hiring in industrial positions. In the survey, which polled business leaders, 36% of respondents also expect wage growth at their businesses.

Respondents were asked in which “segments” they planned to hire workers in the third quarter and could choose multiple segments. Thirty-six percent said general labor (industrial), thirty-two percent said skilled labor (industrial), twenty percent said administrative or office clerical, 9 percent said accounting and finance, 6 percent said healthcare, 5 percent said marketing, 5 percent said engineering, 3 percent said information technology, twenty-three percent said none and twenty percent said other.

Respondents were also asked whether they planned to eliminate any positions in specific “segments,” and could once again choose multiple answers. Ninety-three percent had no plans to eliminate positions, 4 percent said general labor (industrial), 2 percent said administrative or office clerical, 1 percent said marketing, 1 percent said engineering and 2 percent said other.

Finally, respondents were asked about wages at their companies. Sixty-four percent expect wages to stay the same, thirty-six percent expect wages to increase and no one expects wages to go down.

“Despite the predictions of a recession we were hearing a year ago, the economy continues to plug along, with new jobs being created, businesses hiring and wages increasing,” said Bill Stoller, CEO of Express. “While there may be some ‘cooler’ spots, our franchise owners—the experts on the ground—continue to see signs of economic strength. Cautious optimism remains the prevailing sentiment—and appropriately so.”
